Now more and more people like Tai Ji Chuan, and the fitness effect of Tai Ji Chuan has been proved by many people. Many Tai Ji Chuan fans will inevitably encounter such problems when practicing Tai Ji Chuan. The following is what I arranged for you. Welcome to read!

biographical notes

Tai Ji Chuan is a wonderful flower of China's 5,000-year-old civilization and a precious national cultural heritage of our country.

Generally speaking, Tai Ji Chuan absorbed the famous boxing methods of Ming Dynasty, especially Qi Jiguang's 32-potential Long Boxing, and combined the ancient techniques of guiding and breathing Qigong with the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements of ancient simple dialectical materialism, based on Taoism, Taiji and Eight Diagrams.

1。 Rich in content, unique in style, convenient to exercise and diverse in forms, suitable for all ages. Its unique health care function and practical value have made countless martial arts lovers explore constantly since its birth, just to seek further Taiji Kung Fu.

However, how to practice Tai Ji Chuan better is always a problem that puzzles Tai Ji Chuan practitioners. The boxing proverb "Bagua Step, Xingyiquan and Taiji Waist" highly summarizes the essence and key points of practicing these three boxing methods, and also points out the mystery of Tai Ji Chuan's practice-waist.

Every Tai Ji Chuan attaches great importance to the position and function of the waist. Some say that "everything depends on the waist", some say that "the waist dominates and turns into the waist", some say that "the source of fate lies in the waist gap" and "pay attention to the waist gap all the time", and even health Taiji experts think that "the waist is born and the kidney is strong". Therefore, to practice Tai Ji Chuan well, we must pay attention to the basic requirements and application of Tai Ji Chuan's middle waist.

"The Theory of Thirty-seven Hearts" says that "the waist is one master, the monkey head is two masters and the center of the earth is three masters." "The waist is the flag of the ancient army" in Thirteen Potential Exercises, while the first level in Sixteen Levels is "Lively at the waist". It can be seen that the lumbar spine is the central axis to maintain the center of gravity of the human body and the link between the preceding and the following. Disorder at the lumbar spine will inevitably lead to disorder of strength.

2。 Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to "physical and mental cultivation", "moving with heart" and "moving with air". In Tai Ji Chuan's practice, the movements should be complete and the whole body should move.

3 "Up and down follow each other", the key is that all joints of the whole body should always take the waist as the axis to realize the coordinated operation of "major axis" and "minor axis". Only driven by the waist can we integrate the strength of the whole body and achieve a "complete family." At the same time, the relaxation of the waist and the coordinated operation of the other eight joints of the body, such as the relaxation of the shoulders and buttocks, not only help the breath to go up, but also help to maintain the correct posture of the body.

The first thing that Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to is the display of posture. Chen Xin has a saying: "Boxing was originally a posture preparation method". Under the flexible control of the waist, the practitioner always keeps a vertical line in practice, and the whole body can move up and down and up and down at any angle; At the same time, the flexible movement of the waist can also keep the whole body balanced, so that the body does not lean forward, backward or sideways, and the movement process is always light, round and loose, realizing the best posture display of Tai Ji Chuan, which can "support all sides" and "transform all sides".

Tai Ji Chuan's figure is also one of the important contents in Tai Ji Chuan's theory, and the waist also plays an important role in the application of Tai Ji Chuan. However, when practicing Tai Ji Chuan's figure, many people fail to understand the importance of waist in its application, and always stay in the degree of simply imitating one move and one situation, which makes the form unable to convey the meaning.

Therefore, despite years of practice, it is difficult to go deep into its territory. The looseness and stability of the waist is conducive to keeping the spine straight and comfortable, making the chest contain the back, and is conducive to "abdominal depression", the imaginary circle of the crotch and the loose rotation of the crotch. Hips naturally shrink back, and the tail remains upright, so that the strength is distributed reasonably in the body. The quarter-rising makes the upper limbs move flexibly, and the sixth-falling makes the lower limbs stable.

However, it should also be noted that Tai Ji Chuan is a kind of boxing that pays attention to the coordination of the whole body. Therefore, the waist plays an important role in maintaining Tai Ji Chuan's figure, but the movement of other parts can not be ignored. Only when all joints of the whole body move harmoniously can the best practice effect be achieved. Since the birth of Tai Ji Chuan, although people are very enthusiastic about its health care function, the essential feature of Tai Ji Chuan is to win the battle against the enemy. Therefore, the use of waist in Tai Ji Chuan is also a very important aspect.

The core of Wushu is strength, and the transmission, storage and final distribution of strength are controlled by the waist. "Force" is rooted in the foot, originated from the leg, mainly waist, shaped like a finger. Only by taking the waist as the axis at all times can strength be "like a spin", "like a bow" and "like an arrow"

The waist movement drives the three links of Tai Ji Chuan's strength to run through the drill and attack, and also realizes the five keys of Tai Ji Chuan's attack and defense, namely, the fastest speed, shortest distance, best opportunity, most effective method and best effect of Tai Ji Chuan's attack and defense are all achieved through the waist.

The waist is located in the center of the human body, and the importance of its position determines that the movement law of "taking the waist as the axis" in Tai Ji Chuan's movement conforms to the physiological mechanism of the human body. Therefore, in order to make Tai Ji Chuan's practice reach a high level, we must pay special attention to the use of Tai Ji Chuan's middle waist, and always "take the waist as the axis", which is not only conducive to health, but also conducive to achieving the essence of Tai Ji Chuan-the goal of winning the enemy, so as to achieve a good result with half the effort.

Characteristics of Tai Ji Chuan

A kind of relaxation and softness

Tai Chi Chuan's posture is smooth and stretched, and its movements are not rigid and casual, which conforms to the physiological habits of the human body, without obvious ups and downs and intense jumping movements.

Therefore, if you practice Tai Ji Chuan once or twice, you will feel a little sweaty, but there will be no asthma and other phenomena, giving people a relaxed and happy feeling. Because Tai Ji Chuan has this feature, people of different ages, sexes and constitutions can practice Tai Ji Chuan.

Both are coherent and unified.

The whole set of Tai Ji Chuan's movements, from "starting" to "closing", are closely linked and consistent, and there is no obvious pause regardless of the change of reality and posture. The rehearsal speed of the whole set of movements is even and coherent, and it seems to be flowing and continuous.

Three realms live naturally.

Fourth, coordination and integrity.

Tai Ji Chuan's posture, whether it is the whole routine or a single movement, requires that the upper and lower parts go hand in hand, the inner heart, the outer respiratory trunk and the limbs move together, and all parts of the body should cooperate closely.

In the process of practice, we should take the waist as the axis and use the trunk to drive the movements of the upper and lower limbs, echoing each other. Don't be out of touch or motionless, dull and motionless. ?
